Why Not Smile - R.E.M.

(Oxford American Version)
From: Matt Egan (mde1583@rit.edu)

This is a great, mellow tune from the Oxford American Magazine "Why Not Smile." Here are the lyrics, chords and a bit of tab.
I don't think that this is perfect, but it's a easonable facsimile, and I think it sounds decent. 
This is the first tab that I've posted, so I'd love to hear some feedback. Thanks.

The rest of the song pretty much follows that pattern.  You should probably be able to figure it out. 
If not, drop a line, and I'll see what I can do. 




At the (*) there is some little fill. It's something like this:
|2-0---
|----3-

A6 : 0-0-2-2-2-2


D         D              G   A          
The concrete broke your fall
D             D         G   A6
To hear you speak of it
D               D       G   A
I'd have done anything
D           D        G   A6
I would do anything
     G             A            D    F#m
I'd feel like a cartoon brick wall 
G             A6    *      D
To hear you speak of it
 G              A   D             D
You've been so sad, it makes me worry
G   A6    D     D
Why not smile? 
G            A         D     D
You've been sad for a while
G   A6    G    A6    D    F#m    
Why not smile? 
G           A6   *     D     D
I would do anything
G            A       D    D
To hear you speak of it
G   A6   D     D
Why not smile?
G            A         D     D
You've been sad for a while
G            A         G     
You've been sad for a while
 
A6  D  F#m  G ... guitar fades out with same chords as organ comes in
